Does anyone know what offset is used on tsw alloys?

I have 15"x7" tsw evo r's and that just about fit in my rear wheel arches! i have grinded a few mm off of the lip and they just about clear, however on the front there is no catching what so ever, even with the steering on full lock!

They don't seem to have an offset stamped anywhere on the wheel.

thats might be down to a novas rear arches being more of a squarer shape than the fronts. 7j is fairley wide for a 15". my 15's are 6.5j and mines decked 60mm and no arc modz. my offset is 49. and yours might not be. i think they make them in every offset. hope that helps? :?

I think its et40ish on TSW's.

I think it most likely varies, depending on the model and size etc.

But i dont think i've seen any higher than et40 either.

Had some et38 Momo Sports in 15 HUGE inches on my car at one point (when it was the 'smooth and subtle' kind you all seem to love). Rubbed with two in back, which is why the seats came out and the cage went in. But then i changed the wheels to et45 and 17's, but they dont rub anymore now. Tho i did get the arches cut back slightly, just in case.
